The 10 Stages Of Procrastination In College
Maeve Armstrong

I, like several people, suffer from procrastination. I wish I wasn't like this, but it’s in my blood. My mother and her mother also suffered from this awful way of life.

I have tried and tried to improve and work ahead only to find myself even more behind. I need that little monster on my back at all times, or I will lay on the couch even longer! I wish it wasn’t this way.

I have peers who work far, far in advance, but I never understand why they would do such a thing. Don’t they get tired of other deadlines, do they ever socialize, do they ever take naps??

Procrastination might suck when it’s midnight at the library but watching a whole season of Greys (which I have already seen before) was totally worth it… right?

1. Professor gives you your project


It is two weeks away. I have other assignments to do and other social events I must attend! I have plenty of time to work on it this weekend. Plus I am still working on my other assignments due way before this one.

2. Only uses a laptop on the weekend for Netflix


I have had a long week! A Cosmo quiz told me I don’t give myself enough time to relax so no work on the weekends, right?

3. Sunday Scaries


I honestly am so worn out from my busy, busy social life. Can’t I just have a break and lay horizontal for a day?? Plus I have a Dr. Jart face mask I have been dying to use.

4. Professor offers to look at drafts during office hours


I know, I know. I always say I am going to go to office hours and get my professors excellent advice and feedback on my project, but this time I am going to do it!

5. Library session


I may or may not going to hang out with my friends and look at the hot boys that happen to be studying too. Ooh, and Starbucks, I haven’t been there for at least two days. I deserve a $4 specialty drink!

6. Sunday Scaries 2.0


Okay, I don’t even know what I did this weekend. I guess I'll look at my Snapchat for evidence? Weird, it says I was only at Two Keys...

7. Week project is due


Frick, I didn’t go to office hours.

8. 48 hours


OK, I can do half now and half tomorrow. No biggie. I have nothing else to do but do this so let's get to it gfriend.

9. 24 Hours


Or, I can do it all today, I guess. Not ideal but I had such a busy weekend (laying around eating pizza all day). I needed a day recovery from doing nothing and stalling!!

10. 4 a.m. at the library


Finally finished! I knew I could do it. I work way better under pressure anyway. I feel great. Woohoo, go me!! I don't need a lot of sleep anyway.

11. Misses class from sleep deprivation


*snoring*

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
